Allegri was pleased with Leao's performance for Sunday's 0-0 draw with Juventus. He stated afterwards: "You can't expect Leao to have consistent performances. "He's never had that, not even 3 or 4 years ago. Against Juventus, he had one of his best performances of the season. "He also worked hard defensively and had a good attitude. Players like him have to make a difference, and Rafa has done just that this year, with both assists and goals." This season, Leao has 10 goals and three assists in 28 appearances for Milan.
